Go on then, how much does it nark you that Scottish, Welsh and Irish MPs can vote on matters that affect only England? Or doesn't it?

Discuss. :)

Stop them voting on English only issues. Simple solution that the government doesn't want as it'll make it harder for them to win votes.

Whilst it's not a great situation, I'm far more annoyed by those various parliaments being able to enact policies that they cannot afford to bankroll with their own taxes. I'm looking at Scotland in particular for this.

I would like to stop them voting on Scottish issues - country is in even more ruin since they started banging their chests. Dissolve the Jock Parliament and either knock the ugly building down or turn it into a creche/pub/sports centre.

But what does that make someone from Northern Ireland? Are they allowed to be simply Irish or do they have to be Northern Irish?

And yeah its stupid that whilst they fought for their own parliments they still vote on English issues.
